Valuation after thoroughly research

What is the value of a company? It might be your question if you're considering a sale, a family transfer, or if you're involved in a dispute with fellow shareholders. Even the tax authorities may request this information. What is the value you're working with? And what makes up that value? The answers to these questions can have significant implications. That's why we are here to provide you with a robust and credible business valuation – precisely what you need.
As genuine corporate finance specialists, we relish these challenges. We're all happy to be involved, but our experts, in particular, are well-versed in this field (including Registered Valuators ('RVs') and individuals with the title of Master of Business Valuation ('MBVs')). The fact is a valuation is only as strong as its foundation. We examine your current or potential business with a keen eye. Systematically. Strategically. Curiously. We're interested in what we see and curious about what we don't know yet. Only when we understand the numbers, the revenue model, the opportunities, and the risks will we assign a value. But then, you'll have a valuation you can rely on. Count on it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the value of my company determined?
We map out the elements that determine value. This includes assessing future cash flows, as well as macroeconomic and sector-specific trends and developments, dependencies, and other risks that influence the continuity of future earning capacity. Our judgment on the value of your business is based on the discounted cash flow (DCF) method. This involves detecting and analyzing your company's value drivers. Based on our analyses, specific sector knowledge, and experience, we take positions, draw conclusions, and provide advice.
What's the difference between value and price?
Value and price are not necessarily the same. Price results from negotiations. Our valuation serves as a good starting point for these negotiations. Influenced by factors like market demand, the price can ultimately be higher or lower than the company's value. In all cases, it's crucial to have a more or less objective valuation as a reference point. It also serves as an ideal starting point for negotiations. During negotiations, we can provide optimal guidance because we have gained an in-depth understanding of the company.
Does Arpentus have certified valuation experts on its team?
Absolutely. Within our team, we have both Registered Valuators and individuals with the title of Master of Business Valuation. This reflects the quality and professionalism of Arpentus. These titles belong to professionals with years of diverse experience. Individuals who know what matters.
Is conducting a company valuation in a conflict situation challenging?
Certainly. In a conflict among shareholders, a company valuation can be a decisive and highly significant part. When interests are directly conflicting, the credibility of our expert valuation shines even brighter. Throughout the process, we act transparently, clearly, and with a clear goal in mind. We offer appropriate neutrality and respect for the shareholders and expect the same in return. Ultimately, we all share the same goal: finding a solution and refocusing on the future. We're happy to contribute to that.
Our mission
When you're considering plans for buying or selling your company, you seek a decisive specialist. A realist. Perhaps an optimist. But not a fantasist. Not a smooth talker. Not a bragger. (At least, that's what we assume. Otherwise, you've found yourself on the wrong website.)
We have fifteen of those decisive specialists, and we're here to assist you. We approach this in a unique manner. Experience has simply shown that entrepreneurs achieve their goals better and faster when we're allowed to be critical. Ask probing questions. Enagage in discussions. If we can take a moment to delve into your inner world. To your motivations and deeper interests. To what truly matters to you.
Then, we accelerate, innovate (even in negotiations), stand firm, and score with precision. This approach demands mutual trust – and yields unparalleled gains. It speaks volumes that our clients affirm this even years after a deal (when the fine print has proven its worth). The secret behind this isn't much of a secret. Arpentus knows what matters. Simply because we've asked about it.
